That's why I chainsmoke constantly, I have to protect my lungs from oxidation.

Oxidation is how red blood cells collect oxygen to pass to the rest of the body. In fact it is iron in hemoglobin that "rusts" to collect the oxygen. You would die if your blood didn't "rust".
Antioxidants have nothing to do with this.
Thanks, this is an unexpected image and a fun fact for the next party.

Pretty sure oxidation plays a major role in aging, but can't tell you the exact mechanism, I have no idea about it.
But about the blood rust idea, I don't think that can work, cause we don't have just iron particles that can directly interact with oxygen just floating around in our blood, we have a complex (I.e. hemoglobin) that contains significant amounts of iron, which somehow makes it really good for binding to and carrying oxygen.
Deviating a bit, carbon monoxide poisoning is really akin to suffcation iirc, cause it binds and occupies the hemoglobin, effectively reducing the amount of oxygen that can be carried by your blood.
However, do fact check me, I might be wrong about something...
Edit: BTW, it seems that "oxidation" might not be the right term to use here, so do understand that I am referring to free radicals here.

Oxygen (especially as free radicals) is damaging to pretty much all your tissues, so your body moves it around in little bodyguard proteins (hemoglobin). These each contain 4 small iron molecules as part of the much bigger structure and doesn't rust or function like iron in any way. The iron is mostly used for electrons (and also damages your body if it's not inside the hemoglobin and causes more aging)
Carbon monoxide has a higher affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen, so it sticks to your blood cells and makes them useless for hours. Super dangerous.
Point being "oxidative stress" is bad for you and a major cause of aging that your body tries to fight. If your body doesn't fix this well, you age faster. If it repairs damage too well, you're more prone to cancer. Just wear and tear of using your body.
So to the original question of can this process be stopped... Absolutely! Hold your breath - the oxygen will stop coursing through your body and you will stop aging. Just ten minutes is enough to end aging indefinitely! Then you have to worry about other problems like body decomposition, but the oxidative stress will be cured!

Look at what it did to the Linux kernel too.

Or an extremely deadly poison. Or an explosive, flammable gas.

Statistically speaking, for humans, breathing oxygen does eventually have a 100% fatality rate.

Have you heard about the dangers of dihydrogenoxide?

Carbon monoxide, not dioxide.

Did you see what oxygen did to the Hindenburg? I'm not going to let that happen to me. Say no to big oxygen!

To sum up - because I taught this to a kid yesterday - for a period, basically all life photosynthesized and oxygen was toxic to most living things. There were large growths of photosynthetic Cyanobacteria that pumped the air full of oxygen. Living things at the time (like, bacteria and microbes, nowhere near vertebrates) couldn’t handle all the O2 and died.
Iron had been taking in most of the oxygen, but it got all rusted up. There’s beautiful geological evidence of this.
This pic sexy as fuck:

Have you ever seen asbestos catch fire? Me neither. So it's your choice what you'd prefer breathing in.

you train your legs and arms and back, but when i train my lungs im told smoking isnt allowed in the restaurant

I've currently been reducing my oxygen intake. My wife keeps telling me it's impossible and my doc says I'll supposedly die, but they're just hating on my progress.

I got my oxygen intake down to single digits! My family wasn’t supportive however and got me a new pair of lungs, haters
